I believe I will probably bring the new tires up to 65 psi. I think that will keep me in the ball park. Thanks to all for your fast response.

I think you'll be happy with that psi. And your running your "ST" tires well within the safe speeds for them, so I expect you just had a tire with a defect that was waiting for a bad piece of road and hot day. Doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. I've watched (and heard) of folks running those ST tires at 80+ mph, and IMHO, that's just asking for a failure.
